THE PANHANDLE BRITISH CAR ASSOCIATION presented the Fourteenth Annual Pensacola Beach British Car Show on April 29, 2006, held again at Pensacola Beach, just a few feet of white beach sand from the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It's a lovely vacation or weekend paradise only walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

For early arrivals the PROTOADS* offered a "Red Beans and Rice" Social from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Friday, April 28th, 2006 at the Best Western hotel. Registration was open Friday night and from 8:00 am to noon on Saturday.

* Procrastinating Triumph Owners And Driving Society

Judging is by "People's Choice". Each vehicle entered will receive a ballot and dash plaque placed in the car at noon. Voting closes at 2:00 pm and awards are at 3:30pm. There were approximately 24 classes in past years and classes were determined by entries received for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies. There also are several special awards and some surprise awards. This is not a "concours" show, but a chance for British car lovers to get together, display their cars and have a good time. Any car can go home with a trophy. So bring your British "ride" this year and enjoy the camaraderie.

There is also Valve Cover Racing at approximately 2:00pm. Must be a British valve cover with overall length no more than 24 inches and no propulsion other than gravity.
